Summary:
Finally got back from the Big Island and got to hit the water for the first session of 2024! Hopefully this year brings as many fun fishing adventures as last year, and let's set a goal for another Ahi or marlin this year! Last year was a rough one for me personally losing people very near and dear, so I sincerely wish you all a healthy 2024, and tight lines!

Damashi: Homemade using line between 12-16lb, typically J-Flouro Samurai. I typically tie my own flies. When using lures, I like Tylah lures or CHL Nox Minnows, both I set up with gold hooks and a red bead which I find to be very effective and highly recommend them. (Tylahlures.com and chlures.com and check out my buddy (Geronimo Angeles | Facebook) for those BiteLytes!
Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black, GoPro Hero 9 Black, Insta 360. Note: I link the amazon links for ease of finding products and ease or purchase/delivery, but I highly recommend shopping at your local fishing stores and support them (like www.hawaiinearshorefishing.com or www.hifishgear.com).
